original painting SOLD
The "little tractor" was owned by my grandfather, who lived in the
red-roofed house. My family lived farther up the sandy road beyond the cornfield, but the tractor is
headed to my cousins' house. We all loved
the little tractor, and Granddaddy allowed us to use it for getting up corn, and vegetables, or to help him around his farm. The little
tractor was as memorable as an old family dog. My cousin Gordy is driving the tractor, and my
sister JoAnn is riding the trailer.
The sandy dirt road is hot in the summer sun, but there is promise of
cool refreshment in the load of watermelons. Gordy's muddy-footed dog
Ginger has apparently found a wet, muddy way to cool off.
Granddaddy also had a "big tractor", which was the subject of one of my earlier paintings, posted June 18, 2018 on this blog.
